People with hearing impairments often face inconvenience and disadvantages in society due to barriers to hearing and oral expression. However, communication is not limited to language, and understanding can also be achieved through sign language and other senses. Therefore, we hope to create an experiential silent restaurant, allowing ordinary people to experience the deaf lifestyle through non-auditory perceptions such as vision, touch, smell and taste, and then understand the uniqueness and charm of deaf culture, and empathize with the daily situation of the hearing-impaired.
